5 Superstars who could dethrone Bobby Lashley as the Intercontinental Champion

#1 Kevin Owens

Owens would be the perfect candidate to defeat Lashley, as it gives him a meaningful storyline for his return

And finally, at number one on the list, we have none other than Kevin Owens. Owens' situation is similar to Sami Zayn's as the two men were partners.

However, Owens was written off on television after a double turn in which we saw Bobby Lashley brutally attack the Prize Fighter.

Even though Owens was injured before that, the attack from Lashley gave the fans a reason why he would be out of action.

However, it has been rumoured for a long time that Owens will make his return to WWE. There has even been a vignette to hype up his return, but we haven't seen any more of those segments in the past few weeks.

This makes it possible that WWE may be hyping up a surprise return for Owens, in which he targets the man that had caused his injury in the storyline.

Owens would be the perfect candidate to defeat Lashley, as it gives him a meaningful storyline for his return.

Due to the fact that Owens has been a heel in the WWE for the majority of his career, a revenge-fuelled story is what he needs to solidify his status as a babyface superstar.
